EGGLESTON AND HARPER SCORE DOUBLE WINS
By Dave Westerman
Over 300 Quarter Midget race cars from Florida and 22 other states were in competition December 26-30 as the Mid Florida Quarter Midget Racing Association presented the 44th Annual Tangerine Invitational.
Racers aged 5 to 16 from as far away as California, Washington, New Hampshire and Michigan competed in time trials, two sets of heats, and features over the five day period.
Finals were held this past Monday with 40 races needed to eventually determine the A-Main winners.
Two youngsters took double A-Main wins. Thirteen year old Chris Eggleston of Erie CO claimed both the Light GX160 and Light A races while Jesse Harper, an 11 year old from Media, PA took the finales in both Light B and Light Mod.
Florida racers also fared well with five A-Main victories for Sunshine Stater's Kory Abbott, Kevin Henry, Scott Willard, Corey Drier, and Spencer Taylor.
Spectators definately would have gotten their money's worth on Monday had any admission actually been charged. Racing started at 9:30AM and finished up at just before 2AM Tuesday morning.
It was a long, but extremely successful five days. The only scary moment came during Saturday's heats when 12 year old Amber Goodman of Earlsville, PA had to take a quick trip to the hospital for a check-up after a nasty tumble in turn three. Suffering only a jammed elbow, Amber returned to race on Monday and missed transfering in her class by one spot.
